The typical respiratory rate for a healthy adult at rest is 12â20 breaths per minute. Average resting respiratory rates by age are: 1  birth to 6 weeks: 30â60 breaths per minute. 2  6 months: 25â40 breaths per minute. normal respiratory rate is termed eupnea, an increased respiratory rate is termed tachypnea and a lower-than-normal respiratory rate is termed bradypnea. Breathing (which in organisms with lungs is called ventilation and includes inhalation and exhalation) is a part of respiration.
Respiratory rate: The number of breaths per minute or, more formally, the number of movements indicative of inspiration and expiration per unit time.In practice, the respiratory rate is usually determined by counting the number of times the chest rises or falls per minute.The aim of measuring respiratory rate is to determine whether the respirations are. normal, abnormally fast (tachypnea), abnormally slow (bradypnea), or nonexistent (apnea).espiratory rate: The number of breaths per minute or, more formally, the number of movements indicative of inspiration and expiration per unit time.
